Chorus:
    Gb                 Ab
And I want a love that falls as fast
Db                 Bbm
As a body from the balcony, and
Gb                 Ab                      Db     Ab
I want a kiss like my heart is hitting the ground
Gb                           Ab
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat
        Bbm                 Eb
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
     Gb                   Ab                Db
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

Verse:
Db                          Gb
Smell that, it's wet grass, and smoke in my hair
Abm                    Db
I think I've had enough
Db                        Gb
But he wants a finale and I came prepared
Abm                 Db
And we're not going back
Db                         Gb
And I've tried sharing and I've tried caring
Ab                       A
And I've tried putting out
       Gbm        Ab
But the boys boys boys keep coming on for
A    B
More more more
    Gb     Ab                           A
And change change change is gonna come, but
     B
When when when?

Chorus:
    Gb                 Ab
And I want a love that falls as fast
Db                 Bbm
As a body from the balcony, and
Gb                 Ab          Db         Ab
I want a kiss like my heart is chasing me down
Gb                           Ab
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat
        Bbm                 Eb
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
     Gb                   Ab                Db
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

Solo:
    Gb                 Ab

Db                 Bbm
As a body from the balcony, and
Gb                 Ab                      Db     Ab
I want a kiss like my heart is hitting the ground
Gb                           Ab
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat
        Bbm                 Eb
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
     Gb                   Ab                Db Ab
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
     Gb                   Ab                Db Ab
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
     Gb                   Ab         Db
I wanna be what my body wants me to be
